Congratulations, Tessa and Frank!

Tessa and Frank were the last contract signed during my first year of planning and they made the profession look super easy! With their relaxed nature and down-to-earth personalities, helping to coordinate their wedding - which occurred on September 12, 2009 - was definitely a cinch.

This couple has been together so long (7 years, so I heard) that they took the practical approach to planning their wedding. They booked the venue and the planner first, and then decided to get engaged! Truly an inspiration for those couples out there that don't want to follow the traditional schedule. Then they took an additional year and a half to plan their wedding, which proved to be a good decision in the long run. Everything turned out perfectly, although there were some minor blips along the way (i.e. faulty bonbonnieres that were shipped, with the manufacturer not offering a refund - Tessa and Frank opted for simple Forget-Me-Not seed packets instead).

All in all, a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple! Ceremony and reception held at the West River Event Centre in Vaughan.

Special thanks to Suzette for assisting me that day.
